Thank you very much.
Dr. Fowler, in 2003 a report was released, “Learning from SARS: Renewal of Public Health in Canada”. That report mentioned it was necessary to develop “a comprehensive and national public health surveillance system that will collect, analyze, and disseminate laboratory and health care facility data on infectious diseases...to relevant stakeholders.”
Here we are in 2020 and we've heard from a number of witnesses today, yourselves included, that no such system for surveillance and data gathering exists within Canada. What grade would you give PHAC on pandemic preparedness?
